Yes. This question has long since

have I expressed views to that effect
to numerous parties, merchants law

that the State government Is not re-
sponsible for the MUNICIPAL govern
lnert, yet, it is true that municipal
misgoyernment does reflect upon the
reputation abroad OF the whole State.
Size the big Four, as yon style them,
have made the question of municipal
government an issue in the State cans
vass think it meet and proper for
the Executive to express his opini
and declare his intentions thereon.

The Thibodaux Sentinel says: "0n

Nichols, in the presence of, as his
friends claim, ], 500 souls, promised to
reply to the questions proponnded to
him by the Sentinel of September n,
'at Honma, Or later on during the
campaign" He has, to date, failed to
keep his promise. Can a candidate
who TINS fails TO keep his pledge,
even in this simple matter, be trusted
to keep his promise in affairs Of more
importance 2" Gen. Nichols has been
asked the question a number of times,
'fWill you supportthe nominee of the
Democratic State Convention, whoever
be may be Z" and we have never seen
the answer. 1t may be a pertinent
question, but all right,thinking Demo
Gratis think that the circumstances sur
rounding Gen. Nichols are such that

as it is absolutely necessary to preserve
the Democratic unity.

THE PARISH CONVENTION.


The delegates elected at the primary
election on last Saturday met on the
22d inst, in the Court House in this
city for the purpose Of electing ten
delegates to the State Nominating
Convention which meets in Baton
Rouge on the 10th Of January, 1888,
for the purpose OF nominating a can
didate for Governor. Ten Nichols
delegates were elected and McBnery's
friends gracefully yield, as they belong
to that old Democratic party which
believes in letting the majority rule.
We regret that we have neither
time nor space in this issue to publish
the full proceedings of the meeting,
and can give only synopsis.

The Felieiana Sentinel says, "tbe

THE Morehonse Sentinel says, Gen,
Nichols says he is not candidate
through choice. He says that he be,
came a candidate to unity the party,
to break down factions. How has he
done it,? His campaign committee
has flooded the country with one,sided
garbled campaign literature that has
brought about considerable .opposi-
.tion tothe administration. Thisoppo-
sition breeds strife and hard feelings
among good Democrats, and is doing
more to divide and rupture the party
in this parish than anything that has
occurred. If Gen. Nichols wants to
sslidify the party, let him Withdraw
aa give the dozen other aspirants a
chance to solidify it. To say the least
of it, we think that when the General
assumes that he is the only man that
can solidify the party he is indulging
in a little personal fIlattery."
